“Life’s finest day for wretched mortals here
is always first to flee.”
Could it be that happiness is but overrated?
If being is all about attaining happiness and the search for happiness is the answer to the meaning of life, then could we not perhaps follow the foot steps of the Epicureans, since they embody the ultimate free [...]
落葉。。
媽媽謝謝你來看我！！！！
Sous la Tour Eiffel..
et puis,
la Seine..
on a baladé..on a beaucoup ri,
et elle a vu ma vie..
Despite how much you dislike long-haul flights…you made it to France
just to visit your stupid turkey daughter.
Oh how a mother’s love transcends ..
..all barriers.
衷心感謝兩位護花使者，沒有你們陪，我是不會放心媽媽一個人搭飛機呢！！
JE T’AIME TELLEMENT MAMAN!!!
closure.
Old friends,
Old friends
Sat on their park bench
Like bookends.
A newspaper blown though the grass
Falls on the round toes
Of the high shoes
Of the old friends.
Old friends,
Winter companions,
The old men
Lost in their overcoats,
Waiting for the sunset.
The sounds of the city,
Sifting through trees,
Settle like dust
On the shoulders
Of the old friends.
Can you imagine us
Years from today,
Sharing a park bench quietly?
How [...]
Vous y devez venir. Grand café des Négociants.
When the rain
Is blowing in your face
And the whole world
Is on your case
I could offer you
A warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When the evening shadows
And the stars appear
And there is no one there
To dry your tears
I could hold you
For a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you
Haven’t made
Your mind up yet
But I [...]
默契。alchimie。
Last night we watched “Bienvenue Chez Les Ch’tis” on dvd. A hilarious french film by Danny Boon ( my new hero) , which made me laugh till I cried when I first watched it (on board the plane back from Paris to Tokyo in May last year.) The NG shots are not to be missed [...]
クリスマスの宿望がかなった
これは天のめぐみだ。。
la veille de Noël..
“A real true Christmas cake!” exclaimed Aline.
It was a holiday full of laughter and sunshine and LOVE.

Cette année c’est le 27ème anniversaire de son mariage.
Aline and André, mes parents modèles.

Here’s to you! Dear Aline..
A beautiful song for a beautiful lady..
She
May be the face I can’t forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be [...]
後ろ姿
Les gens s’unissent et se séparent. On doit l’accepter. Sur la grandiose Grande Place à Brugge, je me noyais dans mon deuil. J’ai fermé les yeux et j’essayais écouter le battement du mon coeur. Mon coeur deçu. Tout passe, tout se lasse, tout casse.

You [...]
Échec!
Checkmate.
I lost 3 games in a row.
In fact I have never won so far.
I really do not mind losing, I just ask for a chance to stand back on my feet again and please please let me fight.
Give me your strength and your wisdom
and I shall not fear.
In life you win some you lose some.

Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home.

日々旅にして、旅を住処とす
〜松尾芭蕉
La vie est belle
quand nous nous promenons
To be blessed with someone to walk this journey with
what more can one ask for?
Don’t you just love LYON?
ユーキ、Amilus et Keiko
